Coach Karen Clark is Ashby's Head Coach and 15-18 age group coach. This will be her third year serving as the Ashby Anacondas’ head coach. Ashby was such an integral part of her youngest son’s life, as a swimmer, junior coach, age group coach, and head coach. Thus, it’s been rewarding to give back to a program that meant so much to their family.
Coach Clark has been involved in coaching, leading, and teaching young people for the majority of her adult
life. She is the Turner Ashby Girls’ Tennis coach and an Adjunct Professor of Leadership at Georgia Military College. Prior to becoming a stay-at-home mom, in 1996, she was the Assistant Dean of Students at Bridgewater College.
Coach Clark's two prized titles in life are that of being a child of God and mom. Her earnest pursuit of God is her number one passion. A close second are my two sons Tanner and Preston. Coach Clark's hobbies include running, biking, and hiking along with creating healthy concoctions and growing medicinal herbs.
